Back in the 60's when I was learning to sew my own clothing, my mother taught me to evaluate fabric by putting my hand beneath just one layer and holding it up to the light. If I saw a lot of my hand, it was a poor quality (her term, usually applies to loosely woven fabric). Then, take a small corner and crumple it in your hand. If it wrinkles a lot, it will wrinkle when worn. I don't make my own clothing any more, but I still put quilting fabric over my hand and check to see how much of my hand I see.
